How can I change the color in a part of a piece of clip art?
I would like to change the color of a dress or skin tone.
Thanks

select the color with your magic wand tool...then CTRL-U and play with the settings.

or select the desired part with the las,so tool then copy and paste that part of the photo onto a new layer. then do layer, new adjustment layer and try color balance or hue/saturation. Ü

or i use Image>ajust>selective colour & use the eyedropper to sample the colour you want to change, then play with sliders. Take care, Meryl

There are so many ways to do things is PS!

Thanks so much to all that replied to my question. Yes Amanda there are so many ways to do one thing in PS. I have tried all of the ways suggested but am having difficulty in changing a specific area. I will continue to experiment. This group is amazing. Thanks again to all.

another way, here goes.

Open your clipart, use the L***o tool and outline your selection. Go to Image > Adjust > And choose Hue/Saturation, then on the right, check the box that says colorize. I use this also for my b & w photos I want to colorize. But works fine for already colored photos.

But make sure you make your selection first with the L***o tool or you will be 're-coloring' the whole item.

Hope that Helps
